ACS Manufacturing Automation & Efficiency Solutions

ACS Manufacturing Automation provides make-to-order, assemble-to-order, and engineer-to-order manufacturers with a more efficient and effective manufacturing process through Sage 100 ERP's Work Order Module. With increased automation and pre-set options, Manufacturing Automation will help minimize user entry and maximize work flow.

Partnering with WOScan, wireless handheld devices capture WO transaction data on the shop floor in real time, without the need for computer workstations. It prompts for and collects all of the same data you can enter through Work Order Transaction Entry, in a clean, intuitive handheld interface.

ACS Manufacturing Efficiency is designed to help Make-to-Order manufacturers streamline the work order creation process. There are two options available for building Work Orders directly from Sage 100 Sales Orders.

The Generate Work Orders from Sales Orders utility provides a method for generating work orders en masse for multiple Sales Orders. The system knows which Sales Orders to build Work Orders from and does not duplicate builds. Sub-assembly orders can also be auto-generated.

There is also a new button available in Sales Order Entry that allows for Work Order creation on-the-fly directly from a single SO line. Sub-assemblies are also generated during this process and the appropriate work order number will be tracked back to the line

When Orders are generated automatically, users can opt to have builds for multiple orders consolidated by item. Auto-Generated Orders are entered with a released status and are ready for immediate action.
